I was so captivated while reading this book, I could not put it down,finishing it in 1 day.It‘s setting is 1944 Venice,& in a small farming village in the north.Antonia Mazen, a young Jewish Venetian woman, is at the farm under the pretense of being the newly married wife of it‘s Catholic farmer.Eventually she learns to blend in with her “husband” & his family.
While this novel is written in the POV of Antonia,her life & & experiences 🔽

kspenmoll During WWII, her character stands for all Italian Jewish women who suffered through the war. #librarycrew #historicalfiction #November2023 5d
tpixie I‘m really enjoying it as well! 5d
kspenmoll The author mentioned this video in her section on resources , a documentary of interviews with Italian survivors of the Holocaust. My husband & plan to watch it, as he is of Italian heritage. https://youtu.be/j_RBlqfvGlk?si=70D8-o7CJDTEYbXz (edited) 5d

This is historical fiction is grounded in archived research by the author at various Longfellow museums.He utilized Longfellow‘s books,poetry,letters& words.The language is visceral,luscious,& sensual as he describes Longfellow‘s creative process,his struggles with depression,his agony & journey through grief with numerous losses,especially that of his two wives,& his anguish with the Civil War.Longfellow created friendships wherever he traveled🔽

kspenmoll 🔼 fueled by good natured, and at times heated debate as evidenced by his long, standing club of five friends of varying professions, dubbed The Five of Clubs. 7d

What I liked about this book:
~ the concept of a red string, connecting people, and finally finding their way together
~ How the author approached, postpartum depression, and other mental health issues, such as anxiety
~ Noelle‘s completely dysfunctional family

What I did not like:
~ just how immature emotionally Noelle was for her age
~ how she did not seem to really SEE how stuck she was
~ overall frustration with her character& others

kspenmoll I fluctuated between So-So & Pan, but I went with Pan because I would never recommend the book. I did not have time to take part in discussions; maybe that would make me see the novel in a different light. 7d
mcctrish Sometimes I wonder if the pacing of the buddy reads makes me enjoy the books more because I don‘t stop reading when I want to but when I have to. I was perplexed by Noelle and her ‘stuckness‘ until I read about her hospital stay. Then she made more sense to me - hospitalized depression and functioning depression are 2 different things and she had to make her way through both to come out the other side imo 7d
kspenmoll @mcctrish What you say is so true about hospitalized depression,and functioning depression. I feel like I read too quickly & superficially trying to catch up with everybody which didn‘t really work. Buddy reads do pace us( which i did not do) & also I always benefit so much from the group discussions, which again I did not join in this time. 7d
LiseWorks I am doing the buddy read and am enjoying this book a lot. I love the discussion and with the group, with perspectives i may not see. I feel like the characters are stuck because of guilt that they survived and couldn't really get over the trauma. Do t forget they were all so young when the tragedy happened. 6d
kspenmoll @LiseWorks thanks for your insight. Though I did not participate in the discussions & read quickly, by doing that It sounds like I missed much. Hearing these different perspectives points out what I missed in rushing to catch up. @mcctrish (edited) 6d

#railroads #railtravel
This Police procedural,first in a series,is set in 1851 UK, mostly on trains or in stations.The mail train from London to Birmingham is dramatically robbed of its gold coin enroute to a London bank,gravely injuring the engineer. DI.Colbeck,& his team are called to the scene to investigate.What follows is a fascinating hunt to find the responsible parties.The characters,their relationships,& their interplay adds to the fun.

#nonfictionnovember
It actually took me a few months to finish this book, but I read a good bulk of it this month. I have such mixed feelings. It is definitely a Pick, but reading about the teachers the book follows for a school year-elementary teacher,MS math teacher,MS Spec ed teacher.Their work trials, mistakes,successes,lack of resources,admin support,parent issues-all affects their personal lives. It was depressing, insulting,infuriating🔽

kspenmoll 🔼a reminder of this country‘s negative attitudes & blame towards the profession - well researched with countless surveys etc. discussed by the author- an overwhelming amount of information is included, wonderful discussions. I am glad I read to the end, because the last chapter asks how can we help?,a list of positive experiences teachers stated as to why they teach & more importantly why they stay. I am extraordinarily beyond lucky to work🔽 7d
kspenmoll 🔼It‘s not perfect by any means but staff is supportive of each other, strives to work in teams, develop interdisciplinary units,& most importantly, put students both their academic & mental health first. I love going in each day. I have missed everyone so much while out post surgery since 9/7-excited to be back 12/4! 7d
EmilyM I bought this over the summer and meant to read it but thought, "it's summer...I don't want to read about work!" And when I think of reading it now I think " I am in the middle of the school year...I don't want to read about work!" ? (High school English teacher here in year 26) 7d

kspenmoll @Tamra Thank you in behalf of all teachers! I have many wonderful/thoughtful parents like you. It makes a huge difference to feel appreciated. 6d
kspenmoll @EmilyM It is a thought provoking book. I decided to read each month‘s section in that month in real time. I got behind ( life) but was able to finish while I was recovering from surgery. There is so much good information & insights into our profession that it is worth the read. I would recommend it- I have to read any non fiction in bites-use sticky notes etc to process. 6d
EmilyM @kspenmoll That is good to know! I didn't realize it was broken down by month, either. 6d

I am enjoying this book-historical fiction about a young Jewish woman who leaves her parents behind in Venice & moves far away, pretending to be a Catholic farmer‘s wife. I know little of the Jewish experience in Mussolini‘s Italy compared to Hitler‘s. #literarycrew #November2023

Started this #goldenagecrimeclub mystery on the plane from Tampa FL to Hartford CT. Went from swimming at the beach to snuggling under mounds of covers. I don‘t remember ever reading this particular Christie mystery so I‘m having fun with it. This is my “bookseat” that holds books & my iPad so I do not have to use my right arm or shoulder. I recommend it for anyone recovering from shoulder surgery or needs hands free reading!

Such a nostalgic read!When I was in 1st grade measles invaded our household.My older bother & sister & me were all in a room together for the duration of the illness. Nancy Drew & The Hardy Boys were their reads during recovery, so of course I wanted to read what they were reading. That‘s when I read my first Nancy Drew and I was hooked.
What fun to return as an adult, & be reminded of how feisty,intelligent,& independent Nancy was in the 1950s.

Librarybelle I love reading these discovery stories! Revisiting Nancy Drew as an adult I think will be a really fun experience for the group! 4w

The “useless”on the UK police force are sent to languish in the Llangwelli Station in W.Wales ,then forgotten.DI Southwall is transferred there after her first murder case goes South.She is tasked with turning this small station around and building a”crack team.”
Retired D.S.Norman,is asked to support her.A murder, too many suspects,and the “useless” team that rises to the occasion under Southwall‘s tutelage, make for an interesting story.
